Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor achieves performance leadership
on critical online business workloads including Web serving, online
transaction processing and database management
As
the online holiday shopping season reaches its busiest time, the
Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor family is now the ideal solution
for e-tailers based on performance results AMD announced today.
The enhanced Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor achieves the top performance
spots on a wide range of Web serving, transaction processing and
database management application workloads, demonstrating it is the
leading platform for online retailers and other businesses that
rely heavily on internet-based transactions.
"Performance
and stability are part of our customer experience and a key to growing
loyal and recurring customers. We are solely based on online sales
so we must structure our IT operation around servers that are consistently
able to scale with our growth and deliver performance to meet high
traffic periods without increased latency," said, Kelly Phillipps,
CIO, Backcountry.com. "Backcountry.com is the best online retailer
for core gear on the planet. AMD has provided the technology that
helps us operate more effectively and efficiently and is an integral
partner in delivering on our vision."
Backcountry.com is a leading e-tailer often recognized for its cutting-edge
e-commerce models. It offers approximately 470 brands and more than
20,000 products. Its data center relies on Quad-Core AMD Opteron
processor-based servers for web serving, real-time inventory management
and for processing the 650 million page-views expected in 2009.
"Efficiencies and cost of ownership are key concerns for data
center managers. Now, more than ever they are looking to lower their
cost of ownership by deploying stable, scalable platforms for their
market," said Patrick Patla, vice president and general manager,
Server Workstation Division, AMD. "In today's evolving business
environment, the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor provides outstanding
performance per watt and delivers web-based businesses with performance
leadership they need for next generation Web applications."
Unparalleled
Performance Leadership on Workloads that Matter Most
Numerous systems currently on the market from leading OEMs that
feature the new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor have achieved top
benchmark scores in areas critical to online businesses. These systems
include 2-, 4-, and 8-socket servers, demonstrating the performance
scalability that AMD customers can leverage for their current and
future computing requirements.
· The Oracle Small Configuration (Single Database) and Oracle Medium
Configuration (Single Database) benchmarks measure support for a
large number of concurrent transactions on multiple online applications.
Systems based on the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor deliver 14
percent more performance than the competition for two-socket servers
and 11 percent better performance than the competition for four-socket
servers.
· SPECjbbR2005 is a widely recognized measurement of server-side
Java application performance. Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor-based
servers have demonstrated superior performance from 14 percent compared
to competitive 2-socket systems to 36 percent on 4-socket systems,
to the best 8-processor result with a score of 1037851 bops.
· SPECwebR2005 measures the performance of web servers and AMD Opteron
processor-based servers hold the top performance record for 2-socket
systems, with a 27 percent advantage over a similarly configured
competitive solution.
Even
more important to businesses today, beyond raw performance, is the
combination of performance and cost efficiency in the datacenter,
an area where the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor has consistently
delivered for small, medium and enterprise-class businesses.
· An HP ProLiant system showed the best value for performance among
4P systems with US$0.96 price per transaction, a 13 percent advantage
over competing x86-based systems on the TPC-C Value benchmark.
· The 8P HP ProLiant system delivered a US$3.24 price/performance
score, a 40 percent improvement compared to competing x86 systems
based on the 300 GB TPC-H Value benchmark.
· The SPECpower_ssj2008 benchmark measures the energy efficiency,
power and performance characteristics of server-side Java workloads.
The new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor is behind the world record
holding score for 4P servers with a 40 percent greater advantage
over the competitive solution.
